Shocking but true... A new report from psychologists at Virginia and Harvard Universities makes for interesting reading in the light of Krishnamurtis observations (e.g. the following extract) on doing nothing... I do not know if you have noticed that the moment you cease to be active, there is immediately a feeling of nervous apprehension; you feel as though you are not alive, not alert, so you must keep going. And there is the fear of being alone - of going out for a walk alone, of being by yourself without a book, without a radio, without talking, the fear of sitting quietly without doing something all the time with your hands or with your mind or with your heart. J. Krishnamurti, July 17th, 1949, Ojai, California theguardian/science/2014/jul/03/electric-shock-preferable-to-thinking-says-study
